Life with the ‘ugliest’ dog-turned Hollywood star
The transformation of Britain’s “ugliest” dog into a Hollywood star has been unexpected and “surreal”, her owner has said.
Peggy is appearing alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the latest Marvel superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
The five-year-old pugese – a pug and Chinese crested cross – was cast as “Dogpool” after finding fame last year when she was crowned the ugliest pooch in a national contest.
Recalling the past 18 months, Peggy’s owner Holly Middleton, from East Yorkshire, said: “Not in my wildest dreams did I
think anything like that would have ever happened”.
“When we submitted her picture [to the ugly dog competition], I didn’t think it would get to the heights it did,” she added.
“I didn’t think that’d be as big a deal as it was.”
However, despite amassing “a massive fan base”, Mrs Middleton said Peggy was not displaying any “diva behaviour” at home.
On the contrary, the usually “reserved and lazy” pugese had gained “a bit more confidence” from the trainer who was tasked with looking after her during production of Deadpool & Wolverine.
“She’s still just plain old Peg”, said Mrs Middleton.
The 37-year-old make-up artist said the family had missed Peggy when she was away filming.
“It was really, really strange not to have her here”, her owner said. “I’ve got two boys and they missed her terribly.
“We didn’t tell them where she was. Everything had to be kept quiet.
“I’m glad she’s back. We missed her.”
Watching Peggy making her debut at a premiere in New York and being held on the red carpet by Hollywood A-listers was
“surreal”, Mrs Middleton said.
“I loved it. Peggy looked really comfortable the entire time, as probably most people would being cuddled by Ryan Reynolds.
“They seem to really, really love her and they’re so gentle with her, and you can see... they’re giving her kisses and giving
her little rubs on her head.
“I just loved every second of it. I loved seeing her up there doing her thing.
“She just looked so chilled and so happy.”
Mrs Middleton said there were no plans at present for future film roles and Peggy was content with chilling at home.
“First and foremost, she is a family pet”, she added. “There’s nothing she likes more than either cuddling with us on the
couch, or snuggling in her bed.”
Despite Peggy’s global recognition, Mrs Middleton said she was “the same as every other dog that gets walked in the
village” – though she “absolutely loves” attention and had become accustomed to turning people’s heads.
“When I read comments online, they’re all very positive and very much in favour of Peggy, saying how beautiful she is.
“Before all of this, just the way she looks she would get attention, but it was usually people sort of nudging each other and
whispering, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with that dog’.
“So since everything’s happened, the public perception of Peggy, and whether she’s beautiful, ugly, or whatever has definitely changed for the better.”

TEXT III
A new report into world education shows Finland has the best system. The global study is called "The Learning Curve" and is from the British magazine "The Economist". It aims to help governments provide a better education to students. The 52-page report looked at the education system in 50 countries. Researchers analysed millions of statistics on exam grades, literacy rates, attendance, and university graduation rates. Asia did well in the report, with South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore finishing second, third, fourth and fifth. The United States came 17th in the study, while Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia filled the bottom three positions in the top 50.
The Learning Curve reported on five things that education leaders should remember. The first is that spending lots of money on schools and teachers does not always mean students will learn. Second is that "good teachers are essential to high-quality education". The report said teachers should be "treated as the valuable professionals they are, not as technicians in a huge, educational machine". Numbers three and four are that a country's culture must have a strong focus on the importance of education, and parents have a key part to play. Finally, countries need to "educate for the future, not just the present." The report said: "Many of today's job titles…simply did not exist 20 years ago."

TEXT I
IS BURNOUT REAL?
Last week, the World Health Organization upgraded Burnout from a “state” of exhaustion to “a syndrome” resulting from “chronic workplace stress” in its International Disease Classification. That is such a broad definition that it could well apply to most people at some point in their working lives. When a disorder is reportedly so widespread, it makes me wonder whether we are at risk of medicalizing everyday distress. If almost everyone suffers from Burnout, then no one does, and the concept loses all credibility.
By Richard A. Friedman
I'm sure the author's generation also experienced workplace stress. However, his generation also experienced real economic stability and socioeconomic gains. There was a light at the end of the tunnel. Currently, we are working tirelessly towards what ends? There doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The Burnout is psychological and existential as much as it is physical.
Anna B. – New York, June 4, 2019.

Targeting digital growth
One focus 11 sa in the Sandvik strategy is to make the digital shift and to be a leader in the digital transformation of its
industries. The company has set a target to achieve SEK 6.5 billion in revenues from software and digital solutions by 2025
and is well on its way to achieving it. Revenues in 2024 amounted to SEK 4.9 billion, a remarkable increase compared to SEK
600 million in 2020. Stefan Widing, President and CEO, was a keynote speaker at the event. “Software and digital products
will take na increasingly large 11 salso the value we provide to our customers. We need to take new positions in the value
chain surrounding the hardware products that provide additional value to our customers. Digitalization 11 salso a way to

Text for the question.
In today’s rapidly evolving technological
landscape, IT professionals are increasingly playing a
pivotal role in enhancing the fields of physiotherapy and
occupational therapy. By integrating advanced technology
into therapeutic practices, IT experts are helping to create
innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes and
streamline clinical processes.
One significant contribution is the development
of sophisticated software and applications that enable
therapists to design personalized treatment plans. These
digital tools allow for precise tracking of patient progress,
making it easier to adjust therapies in real‑time based on
data analytics. For instance, motion‑sensing technology
and wearable devices can monitor a patient’s physical
movements during exercises, providing immediate
feedback to both the therapist and the patient.
Additionally, virtual reality (VR) and augmented
reality (AR) are revolutionizing rehabilitation methods.
IT professionals are creating immersive VR environments
where patients can perform therapeutic exercises in a
controlled, engaging setting. This approach is particularly
beneficial for those recovering from injuries or surgeries,
as it can make repetitive exercises more enjoyable and
less monotonous.
Telehealth platforms are another area where
IT expertise is crucial. These platforms enable remote
consultations and therapy sessions, ensuring that
patients have access to care regardless of their location.
IT professionals ensure that these systems are secure,
user‑friendly, and efficient, thereby expanding the reach of
physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
Moreover, data security and patient confidentiality
are paramount in healthcare. IT professionals implement
robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive patient
information. By doing so, they help maintain trust and
compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring that
therapeutic practices are both effective and safe.
In conclusion, the collaboration between IT
professionals and therapists is fostering a new era of
healthcare where technology and therapy converge.
This synergy not only enhances the quality of care but
also empowers patients on their journey to recovery,
demonstrating the invaluable role of IT in advancing
physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Considering the text, choose the correct alternative.

Text I: 'Quiet quitting' isn't really quitting
Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot, only doing your assigned
daily tasks, limiting chats with colleagues and not working
overtime. These are the distinctive features of "quiet quitting," a
term coined to describe how people are approaching their jobs
and professional lives differently to manage burnout.
The phrase, which isn't actually intended to lead to a
resignation, exploded into the popular lexicon in 2022 when a
TikTok video went viral. The creator, Zaid Khan, said in the video
"I recently learned about this term 'quiet quitting,' where you're not
outright quitting your job, but you're quitting the idea of going
above and beyond." Nonetheless, “quiet quitting” is a misnomer,
at least according to Karen K. Ho, a freelance business and
culture reporter. She said that the term doesn't account for the fact
that people are watching their grocery bills, fuel costs and housing
prices go up, often without so much as a salary increase. "You're
literally stagnating as a result of not earning more, not being
promoted – and that's why a lot of people are leaving jobs," she
completed.
While the words "quiet quitting" are loaded, evoking images
of a slacker or ne'er-do-well for some, others say that the
approach frees up time to spend with family and friends or to take
care of oneself. In short, it's a renewed commitment to life beyond
the workplace. On the other hand, the term “quiet quitting” has
also received criticism, even from those who generally favor the
idea behind it.
However, while the term "quiet quitting" may be a
new invention, the mentality behind it is not. The phrase "work to
rule," for example, describes a labor action in which employees
strictly perform the work laid out in their contract, without taking on
additional work. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a
major economic movement, The Great Resignation, which saw
people leaving their jobs or switching professions in droves, as
they re-evaluated their relationship with work during a lifechanging health crisis.
A May 2022 survey by RBC Insurance suggested that more
than one-third of recently retired Canadians aged 55-75 had
retired sooner than they planned. Another third decided to retire
sooner because of the pandemic. Moreover, Statistics Canada
reported that the third quarter of 2021 saw a 60% increase in job
vacancies compared to pre-pandemic levels in the country.
Both Quiet Quitting and The Great Resignation indicate a
marked cultural shift from the early and mid-2010s when "hustle
culture" paved the way to "grinding" and "girl-bossing" – two ideas
that prioritized work over everything else, with the belief that such
effort made employees more desirable to managers, therefore
helping them climb up the corporate ladder faster and
generating more income.
In addition, it is important to highlight that employees have
been re-evaluating how much time they spend commuting,
working overtime and generally investing in low-pay, low-reward
jobs. It seems they have realized that they work in systems where
they are constantly immersed in a hustle culture – which has been
repeatedly shown to be only beneficial for corporations and their
managers, through bonuses, through increased productivity,
through increased revenue and profits and the like.
Furthermore, some employees are advocating for policies,
benefits and working conditions that strengthen work-life balance.
But critics say it doesn't work as well as it should, with a glaring
loophole that allows employers to take advantage by vaguely
wording their policies.

care of oneself. In short, it's a renewed commitment to life beyond
the workplace. On the other hand, the term “quiet quitting” has
also received criticism, even from those who generally favor the
idea behind it.
However, while the term "quiet quitting" may be a
new invention, the mentality behind it is not. The phrase "work to
rule," for example, describes a labor action in which employees
strictly perform the work laid out in their contract, without taking on
additional work. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a
major economic movement, The Great Resignation, which saw
people leaving their jobs or switching professions in droves, as
they re-evaluated their relationship with work during a lifechanging health crisis.
A May 2022 survey by RBC Insurance suggested that more
than one-third of recently retired Canadians aged 55-75 had
retired sooner than they planned. Another third decided to retire
sooner because of the pandemic. Moreover, Statistics Canada
reported that the third quarter of 2021 saw a 60% increase in job
vacancies compared to pre-pandemic levels in the country.
Both Quiet Quitting and The Great Resignation indicate a
marked cultural shift from the early and mid-2010s when "hustle
culture" paved the way to "grinding" and "girl-bossing" – two ideas
that prioritized work over everything else, with the belief that such
effort made employees more desirable to managers, therefore
helping them climb up the corporate ladder faster and
generating more income.
In addition, it is important to highlight that employees have
been re-evaluating how much time they spend commuting,
working overtime and generally investing in low-pay, low-reward
jobs. It seems they have realized that they work in systems where
they are constantly immersed in a hustle culture – which has been
repeatedly shown to be only beneficial for corporations and their
managers, through bonuses, through increased productivity,
through increased revenue and profits and the like.
Furthermore, some employees are advocating for policies,
benefits and working conditions that strengthen work-life balance.
But critics say it doesn't work as well as it should, with a glaring
loophole that allows employers to take advantage by vaguely
wording their policies.

Text I: 'Quiet quitting' isn't really quitting
Clocking out at 5 p.m. on the dot, only doing your assigned
daily tasks, limiting chats with colleagues and not working
overtime. These are the distinctive features of "quiet quitting," a
term coined to describe how people are approaching their jobs
and professional lives differently to manage burnout.
The phrase, which isn't actually intended to lead to a
resignation, exploded into the popular lexicon in 2022 when a
TikTok video went viral. The creator, Zaid Khan, said in the video
"I recently learned about this term 'quiet quitting,' where you're not
outright quitting your job, but you're quitting the idea of going
above and beyond." Nonetheless, “quiet quitting” is a misnomer,
at least according to Karen K. Ho, a freelance business and
culture reporter. She said that the term doesn't account for the fact
that people are watching their grocery bills, fuel costs and housing
prices go up, often without so much as a salary increase. "You're
literally stagnating as a result of not earning more, not being
promoted – and that's why a lot of people are leaving jobs," she
completed.

of a slacker or ne'er-do-well for some, others say that the

Responsible state fiscal policy requires more than just balancing the current year’s budget. It must also include ensuring that the budget is on a sustainable path. Otherwise, policymakers cannot have the lasting impact they hope for. This risk is especially high in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Record budget surpluses, driven largely by federal pandemic aid, empowered states to adopt historically large tax cuts and spending increases from 2021 to 2023.
State leaders must be able to assess whether their decisions will be affordable over the long term or will jeopardize their ability to solve state problems or even sustain programs and services in the future. Unfortunately, the nature of state budget processes discourages such long-term thinking. State policymakers devote much of their time to developing, enacting, and implementing annual or biennial budgets, a prime opportunity to achieve immediate policy goals.
One key strategy for changing this short-term focus is for states to use long-term budget assessments and budget stress tests to regularly measure risks, anticipate potential shortfalls, and identify ways to address impending challenges. Long-term budget assessments project revenue and spending several years into the future, and stress tests estimate the size of temporary budget shortfalls that would result from recessions or other economic events and gauge whether states are prepared for these events.
